New Star Wars update hints at fan-favorite era comeback
Star Wars: The Old Republic Era – A New Hope?
Star Wars fans, get ready to dive deep into the timeline because there’s some exciting news on the horizon! The Star Wars universe has been through a lot of changes over the years, and one particular era that fans have been eagerly awaiting may be making a triumphant return. Grab your lightsabers and let the hunt for Easter eggs begin!
Back in 2012, when Lucasfilm joined forces with Disney, a decision was made that shook the Star Wars canon to its core. The entire universe got a reset in 2014, wiping out anything released before that time, except for the mainline films and The Clone Wars animated series. This caused a mixed reaction among fans. On one hand, it opened up endless possibilities for new stories. On the other hand, it meant that many beloved entries were now designated as “Legends” and no longer considered part of the official canon.
One such casualty was the beloved video game, Knights of the Old Republic. Set 4000 years before the original Star Wars movies, this game took players on a thrilling journey of redemption or corruption. Unfortunately, the canon reset left the game and its sequel in a state of uncertainty, and the Old Republic era was effectively wiped from the timeline. Some even thought that the newly established “High Republic” era, set in a more recent time, would replace it. However, there may be a glimmer of hope for fans. The official Star Wars website recently listed the Old Republic with a new description, hinting at the possibility of upcoming projects revisiting this captivating and turbulent time in a galaxy far, far away.
“The Republic is founded among the worlds of the Galactic Core, and the Jedi Order emerges to protect it. A schism within the Jedi leads to the creation of the Sith in this epic era.” That’s how the new description reads, and it’s like music to the ears of those who remember the lore behind Knights of the Old Republic. This update comes after a previous official canon update added The Old Republic back into the timeline. While the new synopsis aligns with fans’ memories, it also opens up exciting possibilities for creative storytelling within this expansive era.
Rumors have been swirling about a new project connected to Knights of the Old Republic, even before the infamous writer and actor strike in Hollywood. If these rumors turn out to be true, it would come as no surprise. After all, KOTOR and its sequel, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, have remained fan favorites. The games provide players with the freedom to choose their own path, while immersing them in a grand narrative filled with galaxy-spanning adventures, action, intrigue, and shades of gray morality.

And the Old Republic love doesn’t stop there. There are potential connections to Knights of the Old Republic in Ahsoka as well. It seems that fans and official channels alike are slowly but surely bringing this incredible era back into the spotlight. While nothing is confirmed yet, this Star Wars news fills us with hope and excitement.
May the Force be with us as we wait eagerly for more updates on the Old Republic era in Star Wars. Stay tuned, fellow Jedi and Sith, because the galaxy far, far away is about to get a whole lot more thrilling and mysterious!
